half-timbered
Beams with plaster
Half-timbered describes a style of building construction where a wooden frame is exposed on the exterior, with the spaces between timbers filled with plaster, brick, or stucco.
The contrasting materials create a distinctive striped or geometric pattern: a row of half-timbered Tudor cottages.
The style is associated with medieval and Tudor-era architecture in England and northern Europe.
